Confident Kids

Overview

Confident Kids is a Bible-based support-group program that helps families with children ages 4-12 deal with the stresses of living in today's world. Since 1989, Confident Kids has been used by churches and other Christian organizations to offer hope, help, and healing to struggling families.

Units include:

  • Facing My Feelings: "All my feelings are OK."
  • Living in My Family: "There are no perfect families."
  • Growing Through Changes: "Nothing stays the same forever."
  • Making Wise Choices: "I always, always have choices."

Goals

The Confident Kids program seeks to:

  • Teach children the skills needed to understand, talk about and cope with their life circumstances in healthy and positive ways.
  • Encourage children to talk about their experiences in a loving, safe environment.
  • Build self-esteem and a sense of trust through relationships with caring, safe adults.
  • Influence families by teaching parents the same skills being taught to their children.
  • Guide children and parents into a relationship with God and teach them to value prayer and Scripture as tools.
